I have these in my place in Troy, New York. They`re creepy as hell, but I have a worse problem with white spiders dropping from the ceiling whenever you walk under them and they bite. I`m hoping the centipedes take care of that.

I see them in my sink from time to time trying to get out. Knowing that they voraciously hunt spiders, roosterroaches, and other truly disgusting bugs, I typically create a ramp out of paper towels so that the little sucker can climb out.

I get these all the time. I kind of think they`re pretty in a Chinese dragon sort of way. I usually catch them in a plastic yard glass I got at a RenFaire and release them outside after feeding them breadcrumbs and observing their behavior for a few minutes. They are actually very clean and groom themselves regularly. As previously stated they are of no harm to humans, actually ridding your house of the more parasitic species of insects.

A place we signed a lease for was infested with these little guys. We ended up breaking the lease before moving in because every single time I showed up, I found about five of them dead on the bathroom floor, and the landlord refused to acknowledge that there was a problem.

House centipedes eat other bugs, and are relatively harmless, but if you have a humongous infestation of the critters you might have a problem - they think roaches are tasty. Very tasty. And they go where they can find roaches.

But centipedes eat other insects! Sure, bedbugs, roaches and termites might not look nearly as creepy, but at least centipedes are comparatively harmless and they don`t want your food or your blood. And they`ll probably leave by the end of the summer anyway.
